Probiotics are living bacteria found in the mouth, esophagus,
stomach, gut, intestines, colon, and vaginal tract of mammals.
More than 400 bacterial species are found in the human digestive tract
alone. Probiotics prevent the colonization of micro-organisms like
pathogens. It is also linked to an increased resistance to infectious
diseases, particularly of the intestine· decreased duration of
diarrhea· reduction in blood pressure· reduction in serum cholesterol
concentration· reduction in allergy· stimulation of phagocytosis by
peripheral blood leucocytes· modulation of cytokine gene expression·
adjuvant effect· regression of tumours· reduction in carcinogen or
co-carcinogen production. Schrezenmeir, J. and de Vrese, M.
2001. Probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics – approaching a
definition. Am .J. Clin. Nutr. 73 (suppl): 361S-4S.

Probiotics have been used with some benefit in the
prevention and treatment of somegastrointestinal disorders, including
antibiotic-associated diarrhea and some infectiousand viral diarrheas,
most notably rotavirus-induced diarrhea, lactose intolerance,sucrase
and maltase deficiencies and inflammatory bowel disease.

Probiotics are Gram positive bacteria and come in two
basic classes; lactobacillus and bifidobacterium. Lactobaccili have a
long history of use without risk to humans or animals. No pathogenic
or virulence have been found for lactobacilli, bifidobacteria or
lactococci (FAO/WHO Report 2001).

The vast majority of pet supplements don’t have any
Probiotics in them. The few supplements with Probiotics contain only
one - lactobacillus acidophilus. Dr Krugers’s revolutionary in
that it contains four Probiotics;

Enterococcus faecium: Used in the management of
diarrheal illnesses often caused by antibiotic use. It is a bacterium
that is important in the formation of fecal matter and is found in
high concentration in feces.

Lactobacillus Plantarum: Protective intestinal
bacteria, involved in the production of several "gut nutrients," such
as short-chain fatty acids, and the amino acids,
arginine, cysteine,
and glutamine. These beneficial bacteria
may also help remove toxins from the gut and exert a beneficial effect
on cholesterol levels. L. plantarum
species has been tested clinically for its effect on irritable bowel
syndrome (IBS) in humans. In these studies, subjects showed a decrease
in IBS symptoms and reduced pain.

Temperature: As Probiotics are living bacteria,
they are temperature sensitive. Virtually all Probiotics sold have a
threshold of 105 degrees Fahrenheit. So, if your Probiotic supplement
sits in a truck on a hot summer day or in the cargo hold of a plane
stuck on a hot runway, your Probiotics may be useless.

Dr Krugers is revolutionary in that it uses new,
more temperature-resistant Probiotics that have a threshold of 140
degrees. This way, we can guarantee that your Probiotics are potent no
matter what time of year they were transported to your home or store.

Digestive Enzymes: Digestive enzymes have only
three main jobs; digesting protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
Digestive enzymes help break down these complex sugars into simple
sugars to make it easier to be absorbed in to the bloodstream. In
order to function properly, digestive enzymes need the following
chemical compounds to support them; Copper, magnesium, manganese,
selenium, zinc, phosphorus.

Dr Krugers contains these Digestive Enzymes
and Enzyme Supporters:

Alpha-Amalyse: Enzyme that
helps digest starch.

Cellulase: Enzyme that helps digest
cellulose.

Lipase: Enzyme that helps digest dietary
fat.

Protease: Enzyme that helps digest
protein.

Enzyme Supporters:

Selenium: Necessary for production for
certain enzymes, works with Vitamin E in its functions and it helps
reduce occurrences of cardiomyopothy.

Magnesium: Necessary for the function of
many enzymes and prevention of muscle tremors and convulsions.

Manganese: Necessary for production of
certain liver enzymes and production of blood cells.

Zinc: A component more than 300 enzymes
that are needed to repair wounds, maintain fertility, protein
synthesis, cell division (growth), preserve vision, boost
immunity, and protect against free radicals, among other functions.
Necessary for proper growth.Phosphorus: A component of
bone, teeth, nucleic acids and a number of enzymes and co-enzymes.

Copper: Component of many amino acids that
is necessary for proper bone health, white blood cell production, and
prevention of anemia.

Choline: Needed for cell membrane integrity and
to facilitate movement of fat in and out of cells. Also a component of
the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and is needed for normal brain
functioning (not technically a vitamin, but a compound-quaternary
saturated amine – and an essential
nutrient).

Vitamin C (Ester C): Functions as a
powerful antioxidant. Needed to make collagen and plays an important
role in wound healing and as a natural antihistamine. Aids in the
formation of liver bile and helps to fight viruses and to detoxify the
body.

Vitamin D: Maintains blood levels of
calcium, which it accomplished by increasing absorption of calcium
from food and reducing urinary calcium loss. Plays a role in immunity
and blood cell formation.

Vitamin E: a powerful antioxidant that
protects cell membranes

Total: 12 vitamins.

Metals & Compounds:

Cobalt: Needed for myelin formation, the
insulating layer found around nerves. Also supports red blood cell
formation and is essential for metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and
the synthesis of proteins and is a central component of the
vitamincobalamin,
or vitamin B-12.

Copper: Component of many amino acids that
is necessary for proper bone health, white blood cell production, and
prevention of anemia.

Iodine: Needed to make thyroid hormones,
which are necessary for maintaining normal metabolism in all cells of
the body. Helps fire the brain synapses. Iodine deficiency causes
goiter and is the leading cause of preventable mental retardation in
humans.

Iron: Part of myoglobin, which helps
muscle cells store oxygen. Without enough iron, ATP (the fuel the body
runs on) cannot be properly synthesized. As a result, some iron
deficient animals become fatigued even when their hemoglobin levels
are normal.

Magnesium: Necessary for the function of
many enzymes and prevention of muscle tremors and convulsions.

Manganese: Necessary for production of
certain liver enzymes and production of blood cells.

Potassium: Needed to regulate water
balance, levels of acidity, blood pressure, and neuromuscular
function. It's also required for carbohydrate and protein metabolism.

Selenium: Necessary for production for
certain enzymes, works with Vitamin E in its functions and it helps
reduce occurrences of cardiomyopothy.

Sodium: Primary electrolyte that regulates
cellular fluid levels and is essential for hydration.

Sulfur: Needed for the manufacture of many
proteins, including those forming hair, muscles, and skin.

Zinc: A component more than 300 enzymes
that are needed to repair wounds, maintain fertility, protein
synthesis, cell division (growth), preserve vision, boost
immunity, and protect against free radicals, among other functions.
Necessary for proper growth.

Cystine: Chief sulfur containing component
in protein molecules. Without it, certain proteins could not be
produced.

Inositol: Inositol is required for proper
formation of cell membranes. It affects nerve transmission and helps
in transporting fats within the body, a cyclic polyalcohol that plays
an important role as a second messenger in
a cell,

Phosphorus: A component of bone, teeth,
nucleic acids and a number of enzymes and co-enzymes.

Total: 16

surfactant and lubricant to damaged joints.

Whole Flaxseed: Contains linoleic acid, an
essential fatty acid needed for survival. It also contains
significant amounts of another essential fatty acid, alpha linolenic
acid (ALA). ALA is a omega-3 oil. Promotes healthy skin
and a shiny coat - Flaxseed is smaller than the head of a pin.

Linolaic Acid: An essential fatty acid
required for the synthesis of cell membranes.

Pantothenic Acid: A constituent of
Co-enzyme A which is a major part of long chain fatty acid compounds,
and major metabolic reactions.
